Django - How do I redirect ie6?

Question

Hi.

I want to send a user to a page on my site that prompts him to upgrade to a more recent browser if they are using ie6 or lower.

How can this be achieved in Django?

Answer 1

You want to use Middleware. Specifically, you want to sniff the browser agent in the process_request of your middleware, and return a HttpResponseRedirect if the browser agent indicates IE6.
